[Bobby's outside, holding the journal facing towards him with one hand and tossing a snowball with the other.]

I promise this is not my fault! I had absolutely nothing to do with this.

[Not that anyone except for maybe two people would have any reason to suspect him. But he's too used to having to give a disclaimer every time snow comes when it probably shouldn't have.]

But since it is here and awesome, I am totally taking advantage of it.

Does anyone like ice skating? Someone go skating with me, guys!

[There's a pause as he throws the snowball high up into the air and lets it fall back to the ground.]

Or if we can get enough people, I am all in for a game of snow capture the flag.

[It is SNOWING, and Bobby is the happiest mutant ever right now. Reply here or come bug him outside? He's wandering around all over, so if it's some place outside, feel free to run into him there.]

[He laughs slightly.]

Not usually, but I can be. And most of my friends went to the school.

[All of his friends did, actually, whether or not they were still there. His next comment is teasing.]

If you can think of a power, it wouldn't surprise me if a mutant somewhere in my world had it. But for ones I'm more familiar with? Turning intangible to phase through solid objects, turning to organic steel, controlling the weather, telepathy, telekinesis, shape shifting, controlling fire.

So many powers... It sounds like the half-demons of my world.

[Then she smiles.]

I have a friend with the power of telekinesis. [Then her humor fades a little, and she shifts a bit.] She...died, though. She's kind of... turned into her own version of a poltergeist, now. [And she grins warmly. She needs to try to summon Liz again soon.]

[mister10below]

And those're just the ones that I can explain in a few words.

[He spends a moment trying to decide if 'half-demon' conveys a better or worse impression than 'mutant,' and ultimately decides they're about equal.

His smile slips when she says her friend died, but returns hesitantly at the last part.]

That means you can still see her and talk to her and stuff, right?

[ghostly-stutter.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles at that.] So you don't have any specific sounding words for different types? The mutant that can burn or manipulate fire could be an Exhaustio. That's probably what he or she would be in my world, anyway.

[A small smile: sad, but used to Liz being dead, rather than alive. Even if Liz had led a short life.]

I can. Only I can hear and see her, but the others know she's there. They talk to her through me. Or sometimes she'll use her ability to let them know she's there. I wouldn't be surprised if she writes notes to Tori, now that she's used a paper and pen to...

[She trails off, an odd smile on her face.]

Sorry. It's a long story. She's helped us on many occasions, though. She's a good friend.

[mister10below]

No, we don't. Not really, anyway, except the general stuff like telekinesis, pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, that sort of thing.

An exhaustio, huh? He probably would've like getting his own special class.

[Well. He might've once. It's not like Bobby can really be the judge of what John'd like anymore.

And that thought is going nowhere good, so he derails it and hops on the train of thought that leads back to Chloe's poltergeist.]

It's okay. It sounds like it'd be one. I'm sorry about your friend, but I'm glad she's still around for you. I guess it could be kind of cool, being a poltergeist.

[ghostly-stutter.livejournal.com]

[She laughs softy at that. Maybe he was like Rae, then. She seemed pretty excited to get her own class, too.]

It has its ups and downs. [Slightly forced smile, here.] Liz is a pretty cheerful girl, though, so she takes it pretty well. [Most of the time.]

[mister10below]

That's - pretty awesome. She sounds really great.

[Bobby's not sure how well he'd take it, being a poltergeist. Especially if she was Chloe's age when she died.]

She's braver than me, anyway.
